Use your deck gun and 40's in heavy fog for merchants. Just trail behind about 1000 yards out of sight using radar or ask for sonar bearings. Usually they will start flashing lights which you can see or when you get a few hits and start a fire for an easier aiming point. Just be careful when the enemy gets radar cuz they'll come hunting, but you can watch on radar and dive up and down as needed, usually they just go back to duty when you vanish from radar.

Yes, the deck gun. I was stuck in heavy rain and fog and visibility was about 500 yards. I manned the gun with gunners mate's and they had the ship on fire after about 12 rounds. Fortunately, it was only a 4000 ton composite freighter. I did get the "she's taking on water" message.
